Secure Universal Device Server Leads Patton's New Line
Patton's New Web-Manageable Single-Port Device Server Securely Connects Any RS-485/422/232 Device to Any IP Network
EtherBITS(TM) ... Connect With Confidence
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Jan. 23 -- Patton Electronics -- the leader in network-access, connectivity, and VoIP solutions -- announces their new universal single-port device server featuring data encryption and secure HTTPS web management. The Model 2285 connects any RS-485/422/232 device to an Ethernet LAN or WAN using a secure encrypted data stream.
The Model 2285 is the first in Patton's EtherBITS(TM) series of single- port serial device servers. These servers offer reliable and cost-effective solutions for connecting a vast range of serial devices (payment terminals, access-card readers, meters, etc.) to a private IP network or the Internet. The new EtherBITS(TM) device servers build on the popularity of Patton's tiny yet powerful Model 2120 single-port terminal server, as well as Patton's 20 years of experience in developing network-connectivity solutions.
"Patton customers love the rich feature set, reliability, and quality of our Model 2120 Single-Port Terminal server," said John Grant, Patton's device- server product manager. "These device servers meet the same high standards people expect from Patton. By expanding our device-server solution set, we're giving customers more choices."
Combining SSH, SSL, and HTTPS security options with key-based 3DES and AES data encryption, the Model 2285 protects sensitive data from being intercepted during transmission with key strengths up to 256 bits. IP-address filtering strengthens security by preventing unauthorized users from accessing networked devices.
The Model 2285 includes a built-in DHCP client so it can automatically obtain an IP address from a networked DHCP server. The device server is easy to configure and operate, offering such versatile management options as web browser, serial console, Telnet/SSH, and a GUI utility.
With built-in COM-port redirection software, the Model 2285 avoids the expense of an additional software license, which is often required to connect a device server to a PC's COM port. The Model 2285's rich feature set also supports serial tunneling for point-to-point connections, virtual COM port, multiple access per port, port logging, multicasting, modem emulation, and many other applications.
